Lets try again - Anyone need a really tough watch?

The watch is literally built like a tank.

Check out how thick it is

Well it's good to know that if I get shot by several high velocity rounds, get blown up and then dumped at the bottom of the Marianas Trench without my Bathysphere my watch would still be working. If I had one of these, that is.

At an inch and a quarter thick, though, it isn't going to fit under my shirt sleeve................

It might be tough but but don't think I would want to be wearing it when any of these things happened.OK if you want to pass on a nice heirloom !

I thought it would be more than that.

Always wondered how they bead blast cases and straps.

I wonder what they pixellated, can't have been a real bi metal sub?

The watch is pretty ugly though, it has to be said. Things like this should be simple and utilitarian, like all the boutique divers all over the place at the moment.

I think that's what I'd want paying to wear it.
